Abstract
Abstract A shock absorber nut removing tool is provided including a nut engaging socket mounted on an elongate hollow drive shaft. A ratchet handle is connected to the upper end of the drive shaft and has a bore extending therethrough corresponding to the opening in the drive shaft. A shock absorber shaft engaging socket is positioned within the nut socket and is mounted on an elongate drive shaft which passes through the ratchet handle and the hollow drive shaft. A second ratchet handle is mounted on the upper end of the elongate drive shaft to drive the shaft engaging member. The device is used to provide relative rotation between the shaft and the nut of a shock absorber in a position in a motor vehicle difficult to reach.
